Quite a few of you have indicated that you are coming ot play with me...yippee! I will be posting a list with your name, your chosen number to finish and a link back to your blog. If you don't want your name on the list, just hollar. If circumstances change, just hollar. This is suppose to be fun *VBS*, and help some UFOs move out of the closets and drawers. I have this polka dotted beauty...its been aging for a few weeks now. Time for borders and some "getting it together". BUT.......
THIS is the one I'm going to start with as I undertake this challenge to myself. These are the "Whatever" blocks from a year or so ago. They are SUPPOSE to ba a baby quilt for that new grandbaby Hailey Marie. She's a month old already, I better get busy!!! I will post what I am working on as I move from quilt to quilt(hopefully).Regarding the challenge: There will be NO pressure on you to work faster. NO Quilt Police will ever see your name on my list. "Finished" can mean quite a few different things. All the way to binding and a label, or just that the blocks are completed and awaiting join up.
If you fall short of the deadline, we'll be here to cheer you UP...and if you make it, we'll cheer you ON! We are people, after all, not machines, and what is reasonable to you is certainly reasonable to me. Let's have fun and get some quilts D.O.N.E!!!

Thanks for hosting the challenge and the gentle push to get things done in the sewing room...glad to have the company :)
i so need this kind of motivation, so may i play too? i have 17 ufo's on my list right now...so maybe half would be a good goal...how about 8?
A plan, Finn has a PLAN and a goal, I need a GOAL. Now that cooler weather is coming, quilting some tops is at the head of my list. I'm hoping to finish at least 4, maybe more. So count me in Finn!
ah, nothing beats company to help reach a goal. as I am a leader on the stashbuster list of our ufo challenge-you know it has been a focus for me-but-I think I need some more cheering on-so I want to join you and be put down for 5-that ought to help rekindle those ufo flames!
I want to play, too. It's just the kick in the pants I need to get back into the groove. It'll be fun.
I"m picking up the flag!!!
Count me in for four:
1. African Star
2. Leaders and Enders Benefit
3. Yellow windowpanes
4. at least one Linus Quilt
oh, forgot...make that five,
5. Mr. Wonderful's Maring Corp quilt (easy peasy) for Christmas
I'm game! I know I can get at least 6 done.
1. "Little Blessings"
2. "Mocha Lovers"
3. Batik Scraps
4. Christmas Disappearing 9-patch
5. Sunflowers Tablerunner
6. Christmas Wallhanging
Count me in for the challenge, Finn! I don't know what projects yet, but I hope to finish at least three.
OK Finn....count me in. I just posted my list on today's blog post. I gotta get some of these UFOs done....Perhaps this will give me some focus. Thanks!
a great idea AGAIN Finn!
I have been working on finishing some of my projects that I Have started....but a new one keeps sneaking in!
my goal is to finish 3 by the end of the year!
thanks for the inspiration.
Kathie
Can I play?? Lord knows I have enough UFOs! I'll shoot for getting 3 done. This will be fun!!
Count me in. - 7 projects and a whole lot of quilting. Have a great day! Becky
I had so much fun with my little challenge "finish 5 by July" I would love to join your challenge...please sign me up...
I want to play!
I will finish (or try)
1. Hand quilt my fungly sampler
2. Piece, embroider, and join the blocks for my denim crazy quilt
3. Finish piecing my star blocks
Finn, I'd love to join in the challenge. I just started blogging myself last week in an effort to complete UFO's to be able to photograph them - having tracked the 5 by July challenge via Rose Marie's blog, (appliqueandpatches.blogspot.com) and would love the extra incentive of this challenge. Now this list will probably change as I'm currently trying to sort out all my quilting 'stuff' and will find many more UFO's to consider, so for starters I'd like to:-
finish the Jack Skellington wall hanging
finish 'the animals came in 2x2' baby quilt/hanging
quilt the round robin top
Thanks Finn
Count me in Finn! I would like to say I'll be able to finish them all, but I think I'll say 2 for a realistic number, with the hopes that I can move that number upwards as I get the momentum going on the finishes!
Oh Finn, what a wonderful idea! Put me down for sure!
Let's see, put me down for five. I would say more, but with the teachers on strike... summer may never end! The kids are soooo happy, me... well, I'm ready for school!
Cheers,
Dionne

I am a late bloomer on this one, but I want to join too :-)
This challenge is just what I need !!
I want to join too!! I will gather my list and let you know when I post it...I can think of 3 hand quilted projects right off the bat!
I would love to play, but I will have to modify it, as I don't quilt! LOL I crochet, and I have a BAG full of UFO's. I need to finish a few before Christmas as gifts. So, here are mine (If I can play :-)
1. Dad's Afghan
2. Sean's Pillow
3. Sarah's Doll Outfit
4. Jo's Gift Pillow
5. Grandma's Hat
All started, all not finished. To me, finished means giftable, so I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Good Luck to all!
Shellie
I'd like to join too please! I have at least 5 UFO's, I'll post pictures on my blog.
I will like to join your challenge. I have a lot of ufo's in my stash and I will try too finish 5 of them. I will post picture's in my blog.
Yes I will play along. Will post in my blog as I start on each UFO.
This is something I need to sign up for to challenge myself. It seems that I am a VERY good starter but not such a good finisher. I would love to get 3 projects off of my UFO list by New Years Eve if its not too late to join in.
Edna
Oh I would like to join. I told myself at the beginning of the year I would quilt one quilt top a month and I need a push. I'll quilt 5 tops from the closet.
all right, another reason to work on UFO's! I choose, hmmm, 3!
1--beach party
2--sunny lanes
3--jewel box
Thanks for inviting us in your challenge.
Hope I'm not too late to join,
I would like to complete two quilts & one quilt top by end of year.
Love Leanne NZ
Count me in. I had challenged myself to finish 4 by the end of October. I'm starting to run behind a bit but still might make it.
But add me to your list for a total of 8 - the 4 by October. Then add 4 to finish by New Year's Eve - 3 small and 1 big. :) Have to see which ones call to me before deciding what to finish.
Melody
Finn, I've been watching this challenge from when it first started when I was up in Alaska for over a month and couldn't join in your fun. Now, I've been back in Oregon for two weeks and still haven't turned on the sewing machine. Time to get some Finn mojo going. Count me belatedly in! I definitely need something to jumpstart me! I'll try Finn's New Year's Eve UFO Challenge and see what happends :) Michele ~ 4 ~ finishes
I've been working on this without seeing your blog so why not sign up? Only a month to quilt and get ready for Christmas....I think I can finish 3 projects. That's about one a week.
